"',Jewish owned press' have been sternly criticised, suggesting link to Jewish reporters. Don't see this, but apologise unreservedly," Murdoch tweeted Sunday morning. He also deleted his original post.

Murdoch seems to have taken to heart criticism expressed most prominently by Peter Beinart, editor of the left-wing "Open Zion" blog on The Daily Beast.

"As a smart friend points out, Murdoch's tweet is the equivalent of saying 'Why don't Jewish bankers loan more money to Jews?" Beinart wrote. "What's offensive is the suggestion that Jewish bankers should make professional decisions not as bankers, but as Jews."

But for Commentary'sJonathan S. Tobin, Murdoch had it basically right the first time around, even if the sentiments were worded poorly.

"As usual, Beinart has it backwards," Tobin wrote. "Far from wanting Jews in journalism to jettison their professional obligations, what media critics want is for them to return to a position of integrity and to tell the story of the Middle East conflict more accurately. If they did, media bias against Israel wouldn't be as much of a factor as it is today."

@NormalFlora OMG, how could I have forgotten WWN? Now they're covering a UFO over Denver that might be watching Paula Brownwell's Playboy shoot while Petraeus takes over at Princeton and Mitt Romney moves to the Cayman Islands. http://goo.gl/ynAe9

@martydotcom It amazes me that 70% of american jews voted for obama. Considering the treatment barry has given israel I would have thought a good 99% would have voted for romney. That should have swayed the election mitts way. But considering that hollyweird, most media outlets, and the entertainment industry are jewish owned, and the fact that this election was also won for obama from the constant cheerleading of those various outlets, he is obviously thier man for whatever world domination plan THEY have, not the NATION of israel. I am not anti-jewish. I hope they do what has to be done and teach that region a lesson they will not soon forget. They aint getting no help from us so they have no reason to be shackled by our P.C. style of warfighting. But it is strange to me that any jewish american would have voted for barry. Just like it is strange to me romney got ZERO votes in philadelphia and chicago. I know he had ground operations in those cities, meaning someone who lived there was volunteering and should have voted. At least a few votes for romney. But ZERO? I am sure NONE of those votes were miscounted, or lost, or thrown away.

@CATTLEPROD Your premis has several invalid assuptions; most American Jews rejected Netanyahu's meddling in US politics. To your dismay I'm, sure, as illustrated by the vote American Jews don't perceive Obama's treatment as unfair. The U S Jew feels Netanyahu is a right wing zealot owned by the radical orthodox parties Adelson owns a news paper with editorial policy of Fox he gives away for free destroying conpetition The ultra right wing isrEli's who have no interest in a peace accord, they belive they are entitled to all wat bank and all gazavEach time talks are impending Israel builds another settlement. The current government is not interested in a peace accord. Protection From nuke Iran yes! Obama got zero votes in several distrct in Tx. All back dist voting 100% for Obama no surprise ever been to S. Philly

@CATTLEPROD do you now recognize Hollywood's lack of influence. look how little influence the Koch Bros. Karl Rove and all the other PACs had on voters. Why did you assume Jews would be twits and follow the Hollywood crowd

@CATTLEPROD Why would Jews care about Israel? Most American Jews are from Europe and Eastern Europe. Very few American Jews are from Israel. It's like asking why the Christian Right isn't sending money to African Christians in droves to help 'their people'.

Amazing coming from the super rich who does not really belong to america,he come's half way around the world and want's to run it,and the republicans wonder why they lost,all they had to do is stop listening at Murdoch's screwed up hatred machine that he use in America to pit us against one another (Foxnews/News Corp) wonder why there is no fox news in the country he comes from ?????

@Rightwing This is true. The guy is not a real American, and he uses his influence to brainwash conservatives and they fall for it. Wanna know why Romney lost? Fox News. Wanna know why Republicans even chose a loosing candidate like Romney? Fox News. Wanna know why there is so much division in America? Fox News. If Republicans truly want a reboot on their brand, and truly want to be an option worth considering in future elections, they simply need to turn off America hating Fox News, and tell Rupert Murdoch to piss off and go back "down under" the rock he came from. America deserves better.

all evidence is that, jewish owned press is a myth. since prejudiced evidence dictates, that the mainstream media is either muslem or arab sympathizer owned. and that arabs will lie, in order to harm their enemies. even though scripture says, you shall not bear false wittness.

Murduch is right. Israel is targeting the Hamas terrorists that launch missiles against Israel from civilian high rise buildings and using children women and the faceless liberal media reporters as their human shield. It is not surprising that liberal media reporters are being injured when trying to protect with their body the Jihadist terrorists that they love. Israel attack on the Hamas media in Gaza is bad news for the NY Times, AP, NBC, CNN and Reuters reporters that were working shoulder to shoulder with the Jihadist terrorists to blame Israel for everything about the all out Jihad war of the Hamas. Why would any rootless liberal Democrat Jewish reporter of the NY Times, CNN, Reuters and AP hate Israel and the Jewish people as much as the Jihadist Mozlem Brother terrorists at time of all out Jihad war that seek killing 7 million Jews in cities including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv? Why would the liberal Democrat Jewish reporters of the NY Times, CNN, AP and Reuters be happy for the destruction of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv by the savage suicide bomber terrorists? Why would the self loathing liberal Democrat Jewish reporters of the NY Times, AP, CNN and Reuters be happy when innocent Jewish children and women die by Iranian made missile that was smuggled by Mozlem Brother Morsi and was launched to tell Aviv or Jerusalem according to the 7th century culture of death?
